It was true, she might suspect that he had been the dupe of a faction hostile to her government : but small was the consol- ation to be derived from the conviction of his unparalleled folly. To what point the conspiracy tended, she neither knew, nor ventured to enquire. The terrible aspect of Lord Ruthven filled her with sinister forebodings ; nor could she banish the impression, that he sought even her life. But terror did not deprive her of self- possession ; and though debarred from all but ...one or two female servants, she con- trived to transmit a message to Bothwell and Huntly, who promised to effect her de- liverance ; and having accidentally caught a glimpse of Melvil from her window, she took the opportunity by him to communi- 247 cate to Murray an assurance of unlimited pardon, on condition that he should pre- serve her life and liberty. But her surer hope was still with Darnley, who, though ashamed to enter her presence, at length ap- proached, and finding her more calm than he expected, unfolded to her, by degrees, the history of the fatal confederacy.
